There was nothing to talk about, but the two still chatted late into the night He Zhao was a seasoned jokester, and evenwhen he spoke about theht had coht in Xie Yu's roo softly

He Zhao heard his little friend's voice grow quieter and his replies becoly obedient, and He Zhao couldn't help softening his own tone, too ”You fell asleep?”

He got off the bus at his station, then looked down and sent Dalei a text Had breakfast yet?
